First Paid Job

After my Junior year of college, I was a newswriter for the nation’s first all-news radio station, Chicago’s WNUS. I worked the 6:00 pm to 2:00 am shift. I learned to write quickly and accurately and meet deadlines during a very busy news summer.

Can They Do it Again?

My greatest baseball memory is attending game 2 of the 2005 World Series. The White Sox came from behind to win on Konerko and Posednik’s homers.
